The New England Patriots have a reputation for coaching up quarterbacks—see Matt Cassel—but they aren’t getting anywhere with Tim Tebow.

Tebow continued his regression as a passer in the Patriots’ 25-21 exhibition victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Friday night, completing 1 of 7 passes for minus-1 yard and an interception. The Bucs should have had a second pick on another poor deep throw by Tebow but dropped it.

In two preseason games with the Pats, he’s 5 for 19 for 54 yards and an interception, which translates to a 17.7 passer rating.

On his interception Friday night, he badly overthrew his intended receiver.

"It was definitely something I shouldn't have thrown," he said of Mason Robinson's interception that led to a Bucs field goal that made it 25-21 with 8:34 remaining. "You want to do your best and play to the best of your ability and have it all go right, and sometimes it doesn't. You just have to keep going."

Tebow did run six times for 30 yards, the second-highest total for the Patriots, and has 61 yards rushing on 10 carries in two games.

Considering he has more rushing yards than passing yards, it’s hard to imagine him making the Patriots’ roster purely as a quarterback.
